BRUCE WESLEY CAVEY YES, there is a place called Kalamazoo. Michi- gan! Jusi ask Bruce Cavey. Coming from Kala- mazoo to Annapolis by way of Columbian Prep School on a Naval Academy Foundation Schol- arship. Bruce was intent on a football career at Navy. This desire was sidetracked by his amaz- ing ability to box. Football and bo.xing divided Bruce ' s athletic time, servmg on the plcbe and varsity football teams (captain of J.V. ' s his sec- ond class year and reaching the boxing linals three years). It all became official second class year when Cavey Kazoo became Brigade heavy- weight champ. Far from being a punch-drunk boxer. Bruce slashed his way through his ana mana major with consistently high CU M ' s. and was a ladies man to boot (until a certain Penn State coed ended that career). Active in the Na- val Academy ' s Officer ' s Christian Fellowship, he received the nickname Brucie. After a good first class cruise on the " boomers " . Bruce will go into the Nuclear Power program when he dons his Ensign boards .... " The only way is Underway " . DAVID PAUL FENZL Ever since he was old enough to say " zoom " up in the North Country of Wauwatosa. Wisconsin. Fenz has wanted to be a Navy piloi. At the Academy he forgot more about the Navv Air than most mids ever learn. The plebe Dave gamed quick fame as company artist, company meal relief champion, and as a major contributor to the prize-winning Army project. His tall, thin frame and southpaw arm made him a fencing natural. He fenced on the plebe and varsity teams in spite of being a complete " rookie " at the sport. An aero major. Dave built up a fantas- tic gravy reser\ ' oir plebe year wiih near perfect QPR ' s. By the end of second class year, however, the bowl was dry from two years of drought caased mostly by flying after his lady friends tucked away over the countryside. Finally, " the real thing " hit him along about ring dance lime, so now there are Carol and Navy Air bidding for Dave ' s attention. DAVID PAUL FENZL JAMES DERWARD SELMAN. Ill Soon after arriving at Navy in June of " 70. this not-so-tall Texas found that he was one of many lonesome cowboys, a long way from home. Dur- ing plebe year. Jim. more popularly known as J.D.. set the record for chins while braced up. He still prides himself on being able to outdo any plebe alive. Most of his afternoons were spent playing company lightweights or weightlifting. a sport in which he was a Brigade Champ. J.D. ' s greatest accomplishment at Navy was teaching the 27th Company plebes how to sing the " Eyes of Texas. " Jim ' s gungy attitude turned into an unending craving for leave time when a sweel young thing. " Miss D ' Lyle " . lassoed him. On many weekends, while classmates were out on libs. J.D. could be found gazing out the window toward the Lone Star State singing " A Time for Us " or various self-composed love ballads. All of us have one of those days and for Jim it was July 10. 1973. In Jim. the Nav7 will be getting a dedi- cated and hardworking officer with great proni- Lse for the future. JAMES DERWARD SELMAN. I PAUL DOUGLAS DANKS " Hammer " skated from icy Ithaca, New York to the forbidding shores of the Severn and became one of the Founding Fathers of the Annapolis Hockey Club. Through his efl " orts as social direc- tor of Partying Pucksters, he was awarded the Black ' N ' and will long remember those frosty monnings on the red beach. A true connoisseur, the redhead became a living legend at many a spirits dispensary along the East Coast. As a pu- pil of Captain Smoke. Hak-al-Hamur soon mas- tered the intracacies of the 20: 1 cloud. His great- est triumph was undoubtedly the introduction of the " Hammerslammer " to the Navy. All was not merrymaking for Bam-Bam however, and his brief but intoxicating afl ' air with the Massachu- setts Grace Kelly was a truly tragic one. .A scho- lastic standout. Hammer quickly traded in his Dean ' s List starLs for a liberal education, much to the consternation of the administration. After raising his RPM ' s. that most unforgetable char- acter plans on heading west to become a warrior of the fleet. SCOTT GEORGE NICHOLS Scott journeyed from the snowy forests of Supe- rior, Wisconsin to open a little barber shop in the 2nd Wing. The " Thursday night miracle " be- came a thing of the past however, when the drif- ter decided that a little private enterprise was not buying the whole package. Despite some early seriousness toward academics, Nick soon mas- tered the one night " write-as-you-type " term pa- per, and even managed a little last minute ral- lying in DC. before finals. The courageous cripple, always eager to help out his classmates, was known to calmly reply to pleas for a.ssistance by saying. " Go away. I ' m asleep. " A frequent early morning red beach goer. Nick reached his true potential when he woke the Dant with some " mood " music one June Week morning. Scott managed to survive such classic roommates as Tex, Killer. Mac, and " Greg and Bob " , only to meet his downfall with a mud shark on a lonely New Jersey beach. Adhering to his motto of " Far away is the only way, " Nick will set sail for Ja- pan after graduation, in searoH of the real Sur- face Navy. Good by, Nick. SCOTT GEORGE NICHOLS ^^
